Erosion Control and Pasture Management
Controlling erosion will help reduce water quality problems and protect the health of the soil and ultimately improve the health of our animals. Pasture and grazing management not only increase the yield of forage for grazing animals but also helps improve soil health and rain water retention. Learn how to identify erosion, and local grasses, as well as manage pasture. We will also cover what agencies are available to help you solve problems and address challenges.
Join us on the Cuesta College 75-acre agricultural property.
